sympathy with the Irish people instiga-
ted by the insulting and inSidious bill AT

how much beyond the range of any sec

the movement in the United States has
become. and in this view | would recon-
mend that an endeavor should be made

Democrat he appealed to the caucus not
to allow Republican minority To elect
the Senator. Senator Bryan withdrew
his motion.
After further debate a motion to- pro-
ceed to ballot prevailed.

zUG'S DISASTER.
Seventy Persons Missing and 600
Homeless.


Homeless.
BERNE, July THE disaster at Zug re-
calls in many respects the phenomena of
the South American earthquakes. For sew
eral days crevices had been observed in the
new quay at Zug, which cost $4,000. At 8
o'clock on Tuesday afternoon the lake in
front of the stonework began to bubble.
The quay then cracked and so feet of it fell
into the lake. At o'clock two boats
which were going TO the rescue were en-
gulfed only one boatman rising again TO
the surface. At the same moment boat
mans hut, in which were three children,
fell into the water. Furniture and cattle
were now hurriedly removed from the
threatened quarter. A Z o'clock the land
slips began again and several carts which
were removing property sunk into the lake.
TWENTY-FIVE STRUCTURES ENGULFED.
Fifteen houses and ten huts disappeared
within few minutes, including the Hotel
Zurich, the roof of which is still visible
above the surface of the lake. The cafe, in
which were ten customers, was next en-
quilted and $50 metres of a neighboring
street then slowly vanished, people jump
ing from the windows of houses to
escape being drowned A party of officers
returning from Lucerne, assisted the fire
brigade in rescuing imperiled persons, but
the danger increasing troops were summoned
from Baar. The third land slide occurred
at IL o'clock last evening, carrying five
houses into the lake and damaging many
others. The municipal treasure
was removed from the town hall
to the post Office Seventy persons are miss
ing and 600 are homeless. The damage is
estimated at $3.50, 600 People are pouring
into Zug from all points to view the scene.
